St. Andrew's Church Tower

Executor of Palmer Estate will Pay Over $10,000

TO THE PRESENT BUILDING

The Tower will be Erected According to Specifications Agreed to by the Vestry

There has been some talk on the streets that St. Andrew's church was to be removed from its present location to State street. Other have had it that the bequest of $10,000 from Mrs. L. M. Palmer was to be used not for a tower, but to build a chapel on State street. All this talk may be set at rest. The vestry of the church held a meeting Monday evening and passed the following resolution.

"Resolved, that we the wardens and vestrymen of St. Andrew's church of Ann Arbor, do hereby accept the legacy of $10,000 given to us in the will of the late Love M. Palmer; and we hereby accept the same, upon the terms and conditions of said gift, as set forth in her said last will and testament and in the contract made between us and the said Love M. Palmer, relative to said legacy bearing date the third day of June, 1895; and we hereby authorize the treasurer of this corporation to receive the said $10,000 from the executor of the said Love M. Palmer in pursuance of this resolution."

The contract referred to in the resolution calls for the erection of a tower to the church edifice now owned and occupied by St. Andrew's church according to the plans and specifications of Gordon W. Lloyd, architect.

The vestry also instructed the treasurer to accept the bequest of $1,000 from Mrs. Palmer for church endowment.

It is understood that Prof. D'Ooge, the executor, will pay over these bequests at once.
